Read: Acts 1:1-8
Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. —Mark 16:15
Bible In One Year: Ezekiel 14-15; James 2
Fritz Kreisler (1875-1962), the world-famous violinist, earned a fortune with his concerts and compositions, but he generously gave most of it away. So, when he discovered an exquisite violin on one of his trips, he lacked the money to buy it.
Later, having raised enough money to meet the asking price, he returned to the seller, hoping to purchase that beautiful instrument. But to his great dismay it had been sold to a collector. Kreisler made his way to the new owner's home and offered to buy the violin. The collector said it had become his prized possession and he would not sell it.
Disappointed, Kreisler was about to leave when he had an idea. "Could I play the instrument once more before it is consigned to silence?" he asked. Permission was granted, and the great virtuoso filled the room with such heart-moving music that the collector's emotions were deeply stirred. "I have no right to keep that to myself," he exclaimed. "It's yours, Mr. Kreisler. Take it into the world, and let people hear it."
To sinners saved by grace, the gospel is like the rapturous harmonies of heaven. We have no right to keep it to ourselves. Jesus tells us to take it into our world and let people hear it. —Vernon Grounds
Morning. Nice work. I'm heading out to work in yard before the afternoon rain comes. I'm glad I dropped by.
Time
Time moves so fast as we grow old,
It seems to fly on by.
Each second is a precious thing,
Enjoy it, I will try.
I'm glad I got to say hello,
My special friends you are.
I've got to go and race with time,
I think I'll take the car.

Mornin Meek, its coffee time!
:^D
"I think I'll take the car."
Or, you could take a hike!
Thank y'all so much for the precious poem and graphic!
In hiking gear it is hard to race!
I shoulda thought of that.
Happy Absurdity Day!
:)
That's a nice peom. I actually woke up today at 4:30 AM and started getting ready for work. I made tea and slapped myself upside the head. Today is Saturday:):) I may as well do something useful...
Love your poem, Bob. I had forgotten this graphic, Amy, but now I remember how sweet I thought it was - I'd love to have a bite of that chocolate bombe thingie! :)
Good afternoon, Billie.
The poem is really nice, isn't it?
I used this graphic quite awhile ago but I cannot remember what poem I used. I thought it would be great to see what our poets would do with it! I think I made a great decision. :)
Passing this on to some FRiends. I didn't write it (but could have... hehehe)

There are days in the month when all a man has to do is open his mouth and he takes his very life into his own hands! This is a handy guide that should be as common as a driver's license in the wallet of every husband, boyfriend, or significant other!
DANGEROUS: What's for dinner?
SAFER: Can I help you with dinner?

SAFEST: Can I get you a glass of wine with that?
ULTRASAFE: Here, have some chocolate.

ULTRASAFE: Here, have some more chocolate.
So why did I write this? Well, my significant other, not happy with my mood swings, bought me a mood ring the other day so he would be able to monitor my moods. When I'm in a good mood, it turns green. When I'm in a bad mood, it leaves a big red mark on his forehead. Maybe next time he'll buy me diamonds.
Hola, Victoria! Hope you're having a great weekend. It's raining like heck down here. :-(
Hey there, Victoria . . . you in the mood for some music tonight?
